Can somebody suggest a good book that is updated to a recent version of LangChain and teaches the basics of LangChain in Python?

Before you suggest that I look up the documentation, I did but I learn from books better.

Not sure about books but you can try LangChain Academy:
Here’s the foundation course for LangChain in python.

That was the first thing I did, and it was a horrible experience. It was not an in-depth tutorial, the presenter was almost reading off the screen. The documetation is better than that. Which is why I wanted to get hold of a book that can give me an in-depth introduction to LangChain.

Hey @rajtilakjee, sorry to hear that. Just to make sure, were you able to check some of our recent academy content? We all benefit greatly from whatever is available there.

In any case as you found our docs useful, one thing that might help is you can use this guide Use docs programmatically - Docs by LangChain to connect our LangChain docs to an agent and build out a guide of your own on any topic you’re currently exploring.

Hi @niilooy,

Thanks for your reply. I did check out the recent offerings from LangChain Academy but sorry to say they are not upto the mark. However, I did benefit a lot from the docs. Also, I purchased a course from Udemy which I found to be highly informative, the presenter their seemed very knowledgeable in this domain. Good thing is I am moving forward with LangChain and that’s what I think matter the most here.

If you’re looking for a book, I suggest try Learning LangChain by Mayo Oshin. It covers the basics, RAG, LangGraph, agents etc. with good few examples, worth to look
